Could Florida Marlins reliever Clay Hensley be headed for the disabled list?

The Marlins’ clubhouse was as quiet as it has been all year after tonight’s 3-2 loss to Washington in 10 innings.

Manager Edwin Rodriguez’s office was closed to reporters because of a meeting with owner Jeffrey Loria and other front-office staff. The best indication we have is that there could be a roster move some time Saturday involving reliever Clay Hensley.
Hensley, Florida’s set-up man, faced two batters in the eighth inning, walking Jayson Werth on four pitches and then striking out Laynce Nix.

Hensley got dressed in his street clothes and stuck around long enough to chat with Loria after the meeting in Rodriguez’s office ended.

“It’s a long season,” Loria said at one point to Hensley, who later politely declined to talk to two reporters.

Hensley slipped and fell down a flight of steps last Friday morning at the team hotel in Cincinnati. He said he was diagnosed with a bruised left shoulder blade.

He didn’t pitch last Friday but pitched Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with Tuesday being the only appearance in which he allowed a run.

Hensley is out of options. The best guess is he’s headed for the disabled list, a move that would be announced Saturday.
